1. FreeStanding Tub

​The freestanding tub is one of THE biggest trends so far this year. Not only does it make your bathroom appear larger, it also creates a spa-like atmosphere. There are also more layout options when using a freestanding tub.

2. Matte Black Fixtures

Matte Black Fixtures add a nice contrast to the all-white bathroom trend we've seen over the past year. This look is sure to add a unique, contemporary look to any bathroom.

3. Tub Inside Shower

Putting a tub in your shower may sound a bit crazy but it's actually a great way to save space and looks better than the standard shower-tub combo. An added bonus for parents (of children or pets) is that the shower glass prevents splashing that can lead to water damage.

4. Bold Lighting ​

Many homeowners are choosing to use several different forms of lighting in their bathrooms. We are seeing bathrooms with recessed lights, sconces, pendant lighting, vanity light fixtures, and chandeliers, some are using them all at once. ​

5. Pet Friendly Bathroom

Pets are so much more than just that, they are members of our family. Many homeowners are updating their showers to be more pet-accessible. Some are even making separate bathrooms for their furry friends.

6. Accent Wall

80% of the Bathrooms that we have remodeled so far this year include an accent wall. An accent wall gives homeowners the chance to be a little more bold with their selections without overwhelming the space, it also gives an opportunity to get a more expensive tile without blowing the budget.

​7. Smart Bathrooms​Smart devices and features are becoming the 'norm' in most homes and bathrooms are no exception. Showers are where we see most of the new technology including sensors that turn the shower on and off when you enter and exit the shower. ​

8. Space Saving Storage Solutions​With minimalism on the rise cabinet manufacturers are finding new ways to hide the clutter.

9. Concrete

Some homeowners are turning to concrete to update their bathrooms! It can be used on the floors, shower walls, and as a sink. Concrete is durable, easy to maintain, environmentally friendly, and enduring. An added benefit- In the future you can install tile right over top of the concrete floors or walls.

A new year brings thoughts of how to renew and refresh not only ourselves, but our homes as well, where better to start than the heart of the home? The kitchen is the focal point of the modern day home, you don't want to have an outdated space and you don't want to waste money on a fad, here we review the top 10 kitchen design trends we will see in 2018 with many styles and ideas, we believe, that will last for years to come.

TWO-TONE CABINETS​Two-tone cabinets will be a big trend this year.Not only does this add visual interest and contrast, but it will also breakup the look of a monotone kitchen, especially when pairing with White cabinets. Goes best with Transitional and Modern kitchen styles.

​MINIMALIST HIDDEN KITCHENS

This look embraces the sleek modern look of a minimalist kitchen. Most cabinet lines now offer a long list of options to hide everything from microwaves and mixers to dish towels and spices.

COLORED APPLIANCESWe are seeing a serious shift in appliances this year, more homeowners are moving away from stainless steel and into colors like black, dark grey, and even WHITE! These colors not only give a new and modern look to your kitchen, but they are also a great alternative to stainless steel especially in smaller kitchens where stainless steel can overwhelm the space.

GOLD TONES

Gold is back! This is not the same gold we saw in the eighties, it's a more sophisticated and luxurious look with Rose Gold, Copper, and Brass tones. This look can be incorporated into almost any style kitchen including Modern and Traditional. You can even mix and match with stainless steel!

DARK HARDWOOD

Dark hardwood in the kitchen creates a cozy and inviting space, especially when paired with White or light colored cabinets. Hardwood adds a timeless look to your home and when stained with a darker color it also gives a luxurious and elegant feel.

GRAY-TONE CABINETS​While Gray cabinets have been on trend for a few years now, in 2018 we will see more homeowners and Designers lean towards gray pastels, such as gray-blues, gray-greens, and gray-purple, moving away from Greige.

​PET FRIENDLY KITCHENS

Innovative Homeowners and Designers are coming up with even more creative ways to make their homes pet friendly, especially in the kitchen with feeding stations and places for your furry friends to relax while you cook.

QUARTZ IS HERE TO STAY

While quartz still reigns supreme, in 2018 we will see more neutral options with more of a marble-look to them. Busy countertops are out!

STATEMENT BACKSPLASH

With countertops trending towards more neutral color palettes and finishes, backsplash tile is completely the opposite, now becoming the statement piece of the kitchen. We will see ceiling-height tile, metallic and mirrored tile, Herringbone & Chevron tile and more!

SUBWAY WITH A TWIST

Another trend we will see in backsplash tile this year is more subway tile options, including squared tile, larger tile, and more color options.
